In July, we introduced a public beta of GitHub Copilot Chat<\/a>, a pivotal component of our vision for the future of AI-powered software development, for all GitHub Copilot for Business users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re thrilled to take the next step forward in our GitHub Copilot X<\/a> journey by releasing a public beta of GitHub Copilot Chat for all GitHub Copilot individual users across Visual Studio and VS Code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integrated together, GitHub Copilot Chat and the GitHub Copilot pair programmer form a powerful AI-assistant capable of helping every developer build at the speed of their minds in the natural language of their choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe this cohesion will form the new centerpiece of the software development experience, fundamentally reducing boilerplate work and designating natural language as a new universal programming language for every developer on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s jump in and take a deeper look into what this announcement means for individual developers and how you can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
